Couple of quick questions

[robinturner]

I normally save my factual questions for mailing lists, but none of ones I'm subscribed to seem relevant to these, so I'll see what the combined knowledge and goodwill of my LJ friends can achieve.

1. Are there any nice CSS tricks that will do something interesting to a graphical link on a mouseover (i.e. the graphic equivalent to "hover")?


2. On a UNIX account, is there any way to set my .forward list so that, when people receive forwarded mail, the "From:" field is filled by the address of the account, not the sender?


3. How do you make the batter for Chinese prawn/chicken/whatever balls come out both thick and fluffy?

My guess is that Arya can answer all three.

Nothing so fancy - just puts a red border round the image. I tried a command that was suppposed to increase the image size, but that didn't do anything.

The link you gave wouldn't display on my browser (Konqueror 2.1.1.) - all I got was a line of "broken image" symbols.

Yeah, that's because I didn't upload any images there. Just do a view source and pop in your own image names and such.

Duh.

Tried this - it works except that the mouseover image comes up not over the image the mouse is over, but over the title (non-mouseover image).

Duh (again). Solri makes most basic programming error - forgetting that arrays start with 0! Now it works.

Actually, that slip is pretty ironic, given that I once explained "geek" as someone who would say:

"There are two reasons why I'm a geek: zero, I use emacs; one, I start lists with zero."

Richard Stallman actually talks like that.
